As the commander-in-chief of the fleet, the battleship where Shui Han's end is located is naturally the flagship of the entire fleet.

This is a five-masted narrow-body warship modeled after the Dreadnought-class sail battleship of the Duchy of Stuart, compared to the traditional warship, the Dreadnought-class battleship is equipped with two steam engines for rudder control and cannonball delivery, plus there are three rows of gun emplacements on the left and right ships, so that the whole ship can carry very few personnel, and a lot of space is used to stack weapons, ammunition and various supplies.

In previous naval battles, the combat power of the warship was directly linked to the number of crews, and only in special cases such as the Dreadnought class and the Galen class, which relied on artillery as the main means of attack, would narrow ships be used, abandoning a large number of cabins for carrying crews.

This also brought the dreadnought-class warship to its ultra-high speed, and under normal conditions, the flagship of the "Wind Blowing" could reach a high speed of 12-14 knots.

A few months ago, the fleet of the second prince François and Claudia was surrounded by Stuart's dreadnought-class warships, and even though the death of several ships temporarily dragged Stuart's fleet, François still chose to summon the storm with magical items. It is because the speed of the dreadnought-class battleship is faster than the traditional wide-body battleship with artillery equipped with guns that the second prince is riding, and if you don't use special means, you will eventually catch up.

On previous voyages across the ocean, several of the battleships in the westbound fleet had not reached full sail, and they had to wait for the slow-moving transports in the same fleet.

Now these warships, which have been aggrieved for more than two months, can finally let go of their speed and ride the wind and waves.

After approaching the area where Skull Island is located, Shui Han ordered ten warships to break away from the fleet and search westward, on the one hand, to intercept other ships that appeared in this area, to prevent anyone from reporting to Skull Island, and on the other hand, to expand the search range to find the target faster.

In previous transoceanic voyages, the formation of the entire fleet was very dense, which was mainly to prevent any ships from getting lost and falling behind.

Through the formation, Shui Han can see the position of every ship in the fleet in the command room on the flagship, as long as they are not too far away, and can even directly command ships within a certain range through communication devices.

The fleet began to disperse, and after the search advanced, the flagship "Feng Xiaoyang" broke away from the transport fleet in the rear. However, Shui Han had a corresponding arrangement as soon as possible, and the transport ship where Huan Qi was located temporarily acted as the commander of the rear fleet.

The other Dreadnought-class warships that were also opening the way in front of them were too far away because they had to disperse, and they could not contact the flagship at any time, so everyone could only use the pre-agreed signal fireworks to transmit information.

After only half a split search, the ship on the right came, and a message came: The searching battleship had met the privateer of the Mirror Regiment!

Shui Han clenched his fists excitedly, and immediately ordered an attack, he hoped to be able to grab some live ports from the privateer, which could not only probe the reality of Skull Island, but also find the specific location of Skull Island faster, so that the fleet's warships could concentrate on Skull Island.

It didn't take long for the rumbling of cannon from afar, followed by a news report: sink the privateer, take six prisoners!

Sure enough, it was the artillery shot, which was extraordinary, and easily crushed the privateer.

From the captives, everyone not only knew the detailed coordinates of Skull Island, but also learned that most of the warships in the Mirror Regiment were in the port of Skull Island at this time.

In the summer, there are many hurricanes on the east coast of the New World, and most of the ships dare not venture out of port just after the hurricanes have passed through the hurricanes a few days ago. The hurricane has just left, and even if you go to sea, it will be difficult to block Castia's merchant ships, so it is better to relax and drink on Skull Island.

And the captured privateer was because the captain lost the card game, and instead of waiting stupidly, it was better to come out early to try his luck, which suddenly plunged into Huai Zheng of the westbound fleet of the Bright God Kingdom

Shui Han figured out the situation on Skull Island, gathered the captains of the ten imitation dreadnought-class warships for the main attack, formulated a detailed attack plan, and finally notified the detailed coordinates of the destination of the rear fleet, and then satisfactorily launched the sails and attacked.

The main attack fleet sailed into sight of Skull Island in the early morning mist, and then quickly headed for the island's harbor.

Before the Mirror Pirates on Skull Island could react, ten large gunboats were drawn in a row on the sea about three miles outside the harbor, aiming their sides at the ships and buildings on the shore.

"Didn't rush to the port and burn the ship!, it seems that it is not the enemy's ......," at this time, the deputy head of the Mirror Regiment who was in charge of guarding Skull Island, "Crocodile Mel", breathed a sigh of relief.

A few minutes earlier, he had just been called out of Mei Rao's arms by his panicked men, and he had only put on a pair of shorts before boarding the harbor's lighthouse to look at the fleet.

No one knew the flags flown by these ten large warships, and from the appearance of the ships, they looked a bit like the rumored Dreadnought-class battleships. But no one in this group of pirates has really seen the Dreadnought-class record, and this kind of strategic-level strike force has been hidden deep in the military port. As for the flag, of course, no pirate can recognize it, it is the battle flag of the "Ugin Guard" designed by Hei Ye, the frontal image of a fierce boar with a broken fang.

Crocodile Mel was still wondering if this was a ship or not? If it was a Stuart navy, everyone would have been in the same mood and should have informed them in advance.

If they don't directly rush into the port to attack the warships that are moored densely, they should not be the old rival Castile Navy, and no matter how soft the Castile Navy is, it is impossible to take the initiative to sneak attack Skull Island, although they know the specific location of Skull Island many years ago.

Then there is another possibility, it is the mysterious forces that have appeared on the sea in the past two years, they will attack the pirate ship, capture all the pirates, leaving only the lone empty ship, three ships of the mirror group have been poisoned, and the elite warship colony group in the northern sea has been more seriously damaged, and they have lost a third of their men.

What does it mean if they put on such a posture of blockading the port?

Is it war or peace?

Could it be that they want to rely on this ship to trap us? There are now more than 2,000 pirates on Skull Island, ahhh......hh More than 60 warships!

Mel, the crocodile who had put down his binoculars, was still thinking, not expecting a puff of white smoke to rise from the ship a few miles away, and then he heard a series of explosions coming from afar.

Before Mel could figure out what the smoke and explosions were all about, he saw a number of Mirror privateers anchored in the harbor suddenly explode and catch fire, as did some of the buildings in the harbor, which looked like many fire-based shapeshifters were simultaneously unleashing fireballs.
